Devtool buyers hide in language: p99, blast radius, idempotency—not “value props.”

Buyer questions that recur

  • Does anyone ship this on-prem with SSO?
  • What broke when you scaled past N RPS?
  • Terraform provider quality?

Thread patterns

  • War story with metrics and version numbers.
  • Ask HN style questions reposted to Reddit for a niche.

Vendor mistakes

  • Hand-wavy benchmarks
  • Ignoring on-prem / VPC requirements
